PET OF THE WEEK

Body
WEEK Alpine Humane Society’s Pet of the Week is Yuri. Yuri is an adorable and shy kitten, about six months old. She loves to be held and cuddled. She enjoys chasing a feather wand as well as playing with toy mice. She also enjoys naps on your lap and will purr you into oblivion. Yuri does very well on her own but will call out to you occasionally for some attention. Most of the time, she loves to look up at you and listen to you talk.
